Epic games have announced a brand new trailer for Gears of War 3 which they plan to show on a global scale on 28th May. They have chosen two of the largest sporting events in the world to showcase the latest unseen gameplay and features of the upcoming game.

If you are planning on watching either the Champions league final or the NBA playoffs next weekend then be sure to keep an eye out at 9:45 pm. That falls just after the champions league final (if it ends in 90 minutes) and during game 6 of the NBA playoffs in the U.S.

Epic is promising ‘explosive new gameplay’ and a mouthwatering cinematic preview of Gears of War 3 with unseen footage of Marcus Fenix and his brothers in arms waging war against the Locust and Lambent hoards.

Earlier in the week a press release announced that Gears of war 3 has become the fastest ever game to record one million pre-orders, an impressive statistic when you consider the game doesn’t officially come out until September. The most popular version for pre-order so far has been the standard game which costs £49.99, the limited edition and Epic edition are also selling well as they will award gamers with extra goodies.
